Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Using a small cookie scoop or two teaspoons, drop small balls of dough (about 1-inch in diameter) into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry the doughnut holes for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnut holes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
While the doughnut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy them warm. These doughnut holes are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made!
